Some of our exchanges are picking
Colonel "Bob" 1ngersoll up pretty
sharply for his declaration that "no man
has right to more land than he can
use" They think, as the Boston Tray
eller puts it, that sas the Colonel is
half in tract ninety miles long
by sixty miles wide in New Mexico,
he must have had very exalted notions
concerning his own capacities as an ag-
riculturist" But the Colonel will
probably retort that when he spoke Of
fuse" he did not mean agriculture.
He intends, no doubt, to use his New
Mexican land to speculate with; and if
that is the case he has no more "than
he can use"

positively contradict the testimony
Of Timothy Coughlan, section boss,
that he and his gang put out all fires
along the track before they left their
work Wednesday. These men were
of the party which went from Piper
City to the wreck ona hand car. They
say as they passed along the track east
of the wreck they saw fire burning in
the hedges and grass all the way along.
The best evidence obtainable is that n
fire built by section hands was within
one hundred rods of the burned bridge
when it was left. There is general
sentiment among residents here that
section men ware largely to blame.
Very few people, except officials OF the
road, give any credence to the incen-
diary theory There was not nearly
so much robbing at the wreck as at
first supposed. Watches and rings
thought to be stolen are being found
among the debris as it is cleared away.

Excursion.
presents.

There is no more delightful excur-
sion on the Pacific coast than II trip
to lake Occur d'Alene. The lake is q
beautiful sheet of water, hemmed in
by dense forests aud rugged hills. 1t
is II quiet and lovely spot where II day
can be spent i'll lazy pleasure, either
with IL ride on the lake to the Mission
in an elegant, sale and swift steamer,
or lounging upon the lake shore. The
trip up the lake and river must be
taken to be fully appreciated. The
first Sunday excursion train leaves
this city at 1880 this morning, and
quite a number will take advantage of
it. These Sunday trips will grow in
popularity at each repetition as long
as summer lasts. Besides. the pleasure
attached, the cheapness is a great re-
commentator.

This wonderful amusement attrac-
tion is billed for this city next We'd
nesday evening. 1T is said to be the
greatest show of the kind in America,
and draws immense houses every
where. The New Orleans Chronicle
speaking of the company says:
The st. Charles was crowded at
the opening performance, and well
it might be, for there are few spec
tactular dramas presented in a more
acceptable manner than is GilmOre's
"Deyil's Auction" 1t is given here
with the original scenery used In
New York, which is simply elegant,
and the mechanical effects, startling
sensations which the pen cannot de-
scribe. These strong points, backed
by the presence OF a strong company,
form u combination which is sure to
attract large audiences, and accord
to an excellent organization the pat
ronaee which 1t deserves. The
opening scene Is the cave Of Gigantic
Mushrooms, and the change from
this to the Audoche Valley was ex-
cellent and elected rounds of ap-
plause. From an immense cave
hung with stalsctites and filled with
huge mushrooms, where Mephisto-
pheles holds sway, the change is
made, without shifting or sliding, to
the farm of Pierre AudOche, with
farmhouse, barn, brook, fence and
all, accomplished by a revolution In
the shape of scenery. A like change
was made in the second act, where
from an ordinary set, the scene sud-
denly changes to gorgeous interior
OF q Chinese palace. To attempt to
describe the grand effect is useless.
It's got to be seen to be appreciated.

That the circus possesses charms of
unrivaled potency is again manifested
by the lively interest taken by our cit
izens generally in the coming of $ III
Barretts new united monster shows,
which exhibit here on Friday, August
26. The general opinion is that Man
ager Barrett will produce some decided
novelties, and the indications are that
the exhibition will attract class of
people who rarely attend an entertain
ment of this style. Barrett, it is said,
presents more diversified and novel
circus performance than any of his
contemporaries. Acts are given sim
ultaneously in three rings and on
large central stage by corps of two
hundred performers, including many
Of the noted bareback riders, acrobats,
nrialists, boxers, vaulters, wrestlers and
swordsmen Of both this country and
Europe. Some of the most sensational
features are the performances OF Dom
aid McKenzies combination OF Scotch
athletes, sixteen in number, who ap-
pear in thrilling broadsword combats
on horseback, Caledonian sports and
classic Olympian games; the startling
athletic and equestrian feats of Nubar
Hassan's Arabs, and the marvellous
jugglery, wire-walking and acrobatic
exploits OF the Royal Yeddo Japanese
artists. There will be brilliant re-
viva of Roman hippodromatic contests
and stirring illustrations of wild life or
"the plains"
The circus proper ought surely &c
possess delights even for the more blase
| show-goer. Barrett's menagerie, mu
scum, aviary and aquarium are pro
nounced exceptionally fine. His herd
of elephants is now one of the largest
ever seen on the continent. Promi
nent in this group of pachyderms are
Bismarck" and "Juno," the biggest
welded couple extant; and "Doc" and
"Ben Butler" two almost human ele
| phantine clowns. Barrett will also
present here the famous human enig
ma, "Jo-Jo," the dog-faced Russian boy
who has attracted SO much attention ir
Europe the past few years. "Jo-Jo's'
head is an exact counterpart of that o.
| a skye terrier. He is not an insipiC
imbecile, but bright, thinking being
Barrett will certainly attract big audi
ences here.

The following letter was received
from Chawelah to-day, and tells how
the people feel up north:
CHAwELAH, August III, 1887.
Mr.. A c EDWARDS,
Spokane Falls.
Excitement here over the late dis
covery increases daily. Men are now
building road to the base OF the
mountain, and Mr.. Embrey will imme'
diately tear down his house at Embrey
and, together with three other build
ings there, move them up. Mr.Vivian
and Major Moore visited the mine yes

grand discovery. Prospectors are ar
irving daily, and Chawelah is receiving
its boom. Yours truly,

Y. NJ. q. A. work.

A reporter had conversation with
Mr. Mason yesterday, in which the
latter made some interesting state
ments in regard to his purpose in Wis
iting this place, and also in regard to
the work which the Y. M. G. A. associ
alton is doing on the Pacific coast.
For long time there has been talk
here OF getting secretary for the local
association, and now Mr.. Mason has
come on to stir up new interest in the
movement and to advise and strength
en- the young men in their work. To-
night he will speak in the Pavilion,
which has very kindly been offered for
the purpose by the owners, on the sub
ject OF the work which is being done
on the Pacific coast. Mr.. Mason is a
fine speaker and will give an interest
ing talk. All are cordially invited to
attend. In the course OF conversation
MIR. Mason gave some interesting sta.
tistics showing how the association il
prospering. There are now along this
coast fifty associations, nineteen Of
which are connected with colleges.
During the last eight months the sum
of $4,000 has been raised in Califor.
MIA for the purpose of erecting build.
ings for the association. There ere six
buildings going up. In Pasadena, q city
OF about the same size as Spokane, the
people have donated q building lot
worth $4,000, and intend to put up a
$25, 600 building on it ct once. At Los
Angeles the association has bought
lot worth $37 900 and have let con.
tract for q $65 900 building. Only four
college associations in the country
have buildings. The fortunate four
are Princeton, Yale, Toronto university
and Andover. Every state in the union
except West Virginia, Florida, Arkan-
sas and Nevada have college associa-
tions. There are also hourishing
branches in China. India, Syria and
Turkey.
Mr.. Mason's work is confined chiefly
to the northwestern portion of the
country, embracing British Columbia.
Washington Territory and Oregon.

The Indian Outbreak.

DENVER, August 13.-The situation
near Meeker, where the renegade White
River Utes, headed by Old Colorowa,
are reported having taken the war
path, remains the same as far as can
be learned. No news has been received
from the scene of trouble since last
night. Agent West arrived at Glen
wood tonight, and will look over the
ground in the morning and report to
Governor Adams later in tire day.
Governor Adams has as yet received
no word from Washington advising
him what action will be taken. He,
however, received II telegram from
Gen. Ray, commandant at the post at
Omaha, inquiring the nearest railway
point to where the Indians are now
supposed to be camped. Capt. Gostin
and company of state militia, com
posed of sixty men, arrived ut Glen
wood from Aspen this evening, where
they were joined by the adjutant gen
eral.

CHARGES AGAINST AN OFFICER.


WASHINGTON, August 13.--Lieut.
Gen. Sheridan, who has just returned
to Washington, has under considera-
ton charges preferred by Col. w. D..
Whipple, assistant adjutant general,
stationed at Governors island, New
York, against Col. w. w. Burns, assist
ant commissioner general of subsist-
ance, who is stationed at the same
post. Both officers are on the stall OF
Mai. Gen. Schofeld The charges al
lege "unbecoming an officer and gem
tleman," and grow out of an alterca-
ton between the two officers over a
personal matter. Col. Whipple as
serts that Col. Burns abused him
shamefully, applying the most appro-
brious epithets to him, and struck him
q blow when his back was turned. Col.
Burns was placed under arrest by Gen.
Schofield, and the matter referred to
Gen. Sheridan for the reason that there
are not enough officers OF sufficient
rank at the post to form court for
trial of the case. 1t is probable that
Col. Burns will be court-martialed.

NEBRASKA CrrY, Neb., August 13.-
A report has just reached town to-day
of another fendish attempt at train
wrecking on the Burlington & Mis-
souri, road at place ten miles west OF
. this city last night. AS a passenger
\train WAS crossing trestle bridge
GROSS q deep ravine, the woodwork was
discovered on fire. An investigation
disclosed the fact that the stringers
and braces were entirely consumed and
the bridge in shaky condition. The
fact that the train was an unusually

noon received a telegram from Presi-
dent G II Jones, of Jacksonville, Fla,

poning the annual meeting which was

This ac ton is taken because of the re-
fusal OF the transcontinental roads to
make any rates whatever for the trans
portation of the association from the

suit will be the issue of a call for a

BY LIZZIE NJ. MULHERN.

''Miss Stanleigh. Mr.. Carlyle,n
The upward sweep OF long dark lashes,
the haif-startled glance of a Fair of hazel
eyes, faint flush dyeing the perfect face,
then fading u deadly pailory as Ray Car
lyle bent over the slender hand of Madelon
Stanleigh-the slender, white, hand of the
girl, who, years before, had wrecked every
hope OF his heFft; and left him the cold
proud, cynical mah the world knew.
Their hostess left them togetheb ahtef
the shadows of the dropping trees, for,
missing Madeloh, shs almost knew where
to find her, and she had brought the lion
of the evening oAt With heF 10 seek the
runaway, never dreaming what the past
had held for these two, who stood so calm
ly before each other again. e
After she left them, moment of embar-
rassed silence fell between them-broken
first by the man.
''Beiieve niel this Is a surprise. Miss
Stanleigh," he said, his ihahhef courteous,
but his voice cold and constrained,
''Not a very pleasant ohe, suppose,'
Madelon answered haughtily, her face
avefted, her perfect profile outlined against
the darkehlhs sky.
The man made h6 iepis for a moment,
though his eyes never left her face dhting
the slehce.
''You do not ask HE ho& fate has Used
me all these years." he said at length, ''uf
how time has dealt with me-" thinking, al
the moment, how generous time had been
to her, adding to, instead of stealing from
the rafe beauty that had lhted him years
before, IfS
he took in every detail Of face and form
the low, white forehead and delicate brows,
the lovely ewes dropping now, the exquisite
curves Of the crimson mouth, the perfect
contour Of the sdple FORM. n g.
Was this radiant woman, whose beaats
had taken, the Yorld by storm, the fail
young girl whom he had held in his arms
whose shy, sweet lips he had kissed with q
lovers passionate iettSf whose tender
eyes had answered the love Id his 0wnP
Statdihg there the past arose 81 wildly
before him. Of &c again he stood ON tlit
wave-Washed beaeh,. the white-capped
waves rolling III at his feet, and Madelct
Faitlle=-hot Stanleigh thens-at his side.
Was he the passionate young lpisf WHO
had yooed the childish hatelieysd Soine
girl so earnestly, the lover who; listening
to her shy sweet, ''yes," had counted him
self king crowhed With her loveS
He seemed to feel tie touch Of the 4 til,
White hands again, the waruii elinging lip
that had slyly met his in return for hi
passionate pleading Against his heat
there still lay the simple ring he had plaeeC
upon her inger-the ring returned to hin
without word, when the little maiden III
had wooed so teuderly, became the ae
knowledged granddaughter Of Judge Stan
leigh, the millionaire.
Had there been no generosity in her ma
ttire toward the gallant young lover, VIII
had offered her, if not wealth, at least al
honored name, loyal Geart as well as vii
ling hands?.
People called il madness when Ray Car
lyle 'vooed Madelop Fairlie. He was a
